So seeing him campaigning on God to believers is really pushing the boundaries of God&#8217;s patience, forbearance, longsuffering and mercy. And Trump was complicit in setting up the Jan 6th protesters to run afoul of that federal election law, with some of them still incarcerated. Of course, most of us would vote for him over a Demonrat, but realizing it&#8217;s the lesser of the evils only. And don&#8217;t set yourself up for severe disappointment by putting any hope in him for meaningful change in our country which is under the judgement of Romans 1, and certainly he&#8217;ll spark no revival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"False Teachers and the Sovereignty of God | Justin Peters\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uHZk2XadG9o?start=1374&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And why is this OCGFC member running for president and promoted so heavily to a resistant population?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-6-1024x598.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-6-1024x598.png 1024w, https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-6-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-6-768x449.png 768w, https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-6.png 1415w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/bring-back-our-religion-trump-says-2nd-term-will-usher-in-great-revival-of-america-5593393?utm_source=partner&amp;utm_campaign=TheLibertyDaily\">https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/bring-back-our-religion-trump-says-2nd-term-will-usher-in-great-revival-of-america-5593393?utm_source=partner&amp;utm_campaign=TheLibertyDaily<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-divider ub_divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" id=\"ub_divider_5a2be6a8-f4f0-45ae-ad9c-811dcab627e1\"><div class=\"ub_divider_wrapper\" style=\"position: relative; margin-bottom: 2px; width: 100%; height: 2px; \" data-divider-alignment=\"center\"><div class=\"ub_divider_line\" style=\"border-top: 2px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; \"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018Bring Back Our Religion\u2019: Trump Says 2nd Term Would Usher in Great Revival of America<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2F23%2Fid5593530-Trump-NRB-GettyImages-2023797581-1080x720.jpg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=75\" alt=\"\u2018Bring Back Our Religion\u2019: Trump Says 2nd Term Would Usher in Great Revival of America\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Former President and 2024 presidential hopeful Donald Trump addresses Christian broadcasters at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) International Christian Media Convention in Nashville, Tenn., on Feb. 22, 2024.

But President Trump was the only one who accepted the invitation. President Biden didn\u2019t respond, and GOP challenger Nikki Haley declined, a spokeswoman told The Epoch Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 2,500 people gathered for the NRB event at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/why-possible-trump-vp-pick-tulsi-gabbard-is-visiting-mar-a-lago-soon-5593080?ea_src=author_manual&amp;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Trump\u2019s speech before the large and influential religious group comes as polls show record levels of support for him among evangelicals amid his third presidential run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, a Big Data Poll survey \u201cmeasured the highest support for Donald Trump among white evangelicals and evangelicals of all races,\u201d above a record that he previously set. Nearly 80 percent of evangelicals said they supported President Trump rather than President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a new high in our polling and would represent a new high in the election for any candidate,\u201d pollster Rich Baris wrote in <a href=\"https:\/\/peoplespundit.locals.com\/upost\/5262077\/trump-hits-an-all-time-high-among-white-evangelicals-all-evangelicals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a post describing his findings.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NRB includes pastors, podcasters, independent Christian journalists, and \u201cmissionaries who go to the world\u2019s most dangerous places,\u201d the former president said. Their messages reach tens of millions of Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crowd waited late into the evening to hear President Trump speak. When he took the stage around 9:45 p.m. local time, he said his private airliner had encountered rough weather, but he was determined to come to the NRB event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018Destroying America\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>He said President Biden and other leftists are destroying America by allowing illegal immigrants to overrun the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Illegal immigrants are being treated better than longtime citizens and America\u2019s veterans, President Trump said, as they\u2019re being housed in high-end hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, leftists have \u201cunleashed mobs of foreign jihadists who praise Hamas,\u201d the terrorist group that invaded Israel in October and committed atrocities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re praising Hamas, while they slander law-abiding Americans as domestic terrorists,\u201d President Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He repeated his recent promises to create a task force that would rapidly review every case of \u201cpolitical prisoners\u201d whom President Biden\u2019s administration targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one example of disparate treatment, authorities dropped charges against violent, destructive Antifa agitators, but \u201crounded up six pro-life activists right here in Tennessee,\u201d President Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The activists waged a peaceful protest outside of an abortion clinic, \u201cwhere they prayed, sang hymns, and were removed with great force,\u201d President Trump said. \u201cLast month, those protesters were convicted on outrageous charges and are now facing up to 11 years of prison,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of such actions, \u201cfor all Americans\u2013especially Christians\u2013nothing is more important than to defeat this wicked system,\u201c he said, \u201dand to return to fair, equal, and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Trump told the audience that the left wants to \u201csilence you, demoralize you, and keep you out of politics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018Chains Are Tightening\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But Christians \u201ccannot afford to sit on the sidelines in this fight,\u201d President Trump said. \u201cThe corrupt persecution by this regime will not stop with me,\u201d he said during his speech, warning that many people could be easily targeted if they run afoul of the Biden administration. &nbsp;\u201cThe chains are already tightening around all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUltimately, the radical left is coming after all of us because they know that our allegiance is not to them. Our allegiance is to our country. And our allegiance is to our creator. They don\u2019t want to hear that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday marked the first time President Trump had addressed the NRB, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the group was founded in 1944, America was confronting another crisis as World War II pitted the United States and its allies against Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur country was at war with an enemy that wanted to extinguish our way of life forever,\u201d President Trump said. \u201cBut here at home, Christians knew that victory depended not only on the force of American arms but also on the faith in American hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Against that backdrop, NRB was established \u201cto give voice to the preachers, ministers, and faith leaders who fought every day to strengthen America with the good news of the Gospel, and the love of Jesus Christ,\u201d President Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, eight decades later, America is embroiled in a different \u201cstruggle for the survival of our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis time, the greatest threat is not from the outside, but from within,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upholding Religious Freedom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, President Trump said that, while he was in office, \u201cwe did more to uphold religious freedom than any administration in history, and everybody agrees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He blocked the IRS from using \u201cthe Johnson Amendment\u201d to impinge on pastors\u2019 freedom of speech, supported students\u2019 right to pray in school, and signed an executive order to \u201cinstall faith leaders in every federal department and agency.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was the first and only president to convene a meeting of the United Nations to end religious persecution worldwide,\u201d President Trump said. \u201cThey were not thrilled, but that was okay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Trump was also the nation\u2019s first president to attend the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C., a pro-life gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He notes that he appointed three conservative Supreme Court justices who helped make a landmark decision that put states in charge of abortion regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Israel Depending on US<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Toward the end of his 75-minute speech, President Trump discussed actions he took to shield Israel from religious-based attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At President Trump\u2019s invitation, David Friedman, who served as U.S. ambassador to Israel during the Trump administration, took to the stage briefly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou were the greatest friend that Israel ever had in the Oval Office, by far,\u201d Mr. Friedman said, touching off a wave of cheers and applause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F12%2F16%2FAP16351526409053.jpg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=75\" alt=\"David Friedman served as ambassador to Israel under the Trump administration.
